It was just great wandering the busy streets and after a while I even enjoyed the buzz from crossing the roads whilst trying to avoid the endless number of motorbikes.

Slightly disappointed the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was closed as the great man himself was on holiday being 'touched up'.

A visit to Hanoi is not complete without a trip to Ha Long Bay. The scenery is very similar to Yangshuo but this time the rock formations are in the water. Shame the sun only came out on our last day there.
